Cracked Cheesecake

You made a cheesecake you followed all the rules and it cracked. What can you do to get rid of the crack now that it is there?

Find a wide cloth ribbon or fold a towel to the thickness of your cake. While the cake is still warm gently remove the sidewall from the cake. Wrap the cloth around the outside of the cheesecake, and holding it firmly to pull the cake together and smooth out the crack secure with a large binder clip.

When the cake has had a chance to cool, remove the clip and the ribbon. If the cake still has an obvious crack top with fresh or canned fruit.
